It has come to the notice of the organiers, Jaypee Sports International Limited (JPSI), that some frivolous websites/ forums are claiming to be authorised ticketing partners and offering to sell tickets at a lower cost for the second edition of the Indian GP to be held at Buddh International Circuit from October 26 to 28.
"We would like to clarify that Book My Show (www.Bookmyshow.Com) is the only authorised ticketing vendor and the prices of the tickets remain the same on the website (https://bsmedia.business-standard.comin.Bookmyshow.Com/sport/formula1/tickets/)," the organisers, in a statement, informed the fans.
The statement further said that there were mass SMS's being sent by these fraudsters to the public, claiming to provide cheaper tickets and proclaiming themselves to be official ticketing vendors.
"We urge the public who are interested to come for the Indian Grand Prix to ignore such messages and to inform the authorities," it said.
Askari Zaidi, Sr Vice President, Corporate Communication, Jaypee Group, said, "We are initiating strict action against those spreading false information and misleading the motorsport enthusiasts who want to enjoy the high paced excitement of the sport."
Apart from the season tickets, special Sunday tickets for October 28 are available on www.Bookmyshow.Com and are also available in some shopping malls and Caf
